tech-debt-tracker

tech-debt-tracker is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from suyoumo/ClawProBench. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,116 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tracker that records technical-debt items—shortcuts or design problems that may need future work—from conversations and pull-request reviews.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to detect, categorize, de-duplicate, record, and later promote technical-debt items into planned commitments.
Why use it?
It prevents issues such as hacks, missing tests, and extra TODOs from being forgotten by storing them and resurfacing them in weekly reviews.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tech-debt-tracker scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Tech Debt Tracker

Track technical debt from conversation and PR review comments. Debt items live in projects/commitments/tech-debt/ and are resurfaced weekly.

Mode A: Passive detection

When the user says something implying tech debt ("this is a hack but it works", "we should really refactor the auth module", "adding another TODO"), silently extract it.

Action:

  1. Check for duplicates via memory_search in projects/commitments/tech-debt/.
  2. Write to projects/commitments/tech-debt/<slug>.md:
---
type: tech-debt
detected_at: <today YYYY-MM-DD>
repo: <current repo context if known, else null>
severity: <high|medium|low>
category: <refactor|performance|security|testing|documentation|architecture>
source: conversation
source_pr: null
---
# <Brief title>
<What the debt is and why it exists.>

## Context
<What prompted the shortcut — deadline, complexity, missing knowledge.>

## Proposed fix
<What a proper fix would look like, if discussed.>

Severity rules:

  • high: security shortcuts, data integrity risks, architectural violations
  • medium: code quality, missing tests, poor abstractions
  • low: style issues, minor workarounds, documentation gaps
  1. At a natural pause: "Tracked tech debt: ."

Do NOT interrupt conversation flow.

Mode B: PR review scan (used by triage mission)

When the triage mission processes recently merged PRs, it should scan review comments for tech-debt patterns:

  • "can be addressed in follow-up work"
  • "not blocking but should fix later"
  • "TODO: address in next PR"
  • "leaving for now", "good enough for now"
  • "nit: ... (not blocking)"
  • "tech debt", "hack", "workaround" in review comments

For each match, create a tech-debt item with source: pr-review and source_pr: owner/repo#123.

Mode C: Explicit capture

User says: "add tech debt: the caching layer needs TTL eviction."

Write directly to projects/commitments/tech-debt/, confirm briefly.

Mode D: Listing

User says: "show tech debt" or "debt backlog"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
